Catch SportsDay On Air twice per week on Fox Sports Southwest, when Dallas Morning News experts discuss hot sports topics from the Cowboys,Mavericks, Stars, Rangers and colleges (check ourTV listings for air times). Here are a few highlights from Monday's episode featuring Eddie Sefko and Rick Gosselin:

On if the Cowboys should suspend Dez Bryant after arrest:

Gosselin:
“I think the Cowboys should suspend him and give him a month to get his
life sorted out. Take away his livelihood, take away his paycheck and
make him appreciate what he
has here with his opportunity to play pro football. Do I think they’ll
suspend him? No, I think they’ll wait on the commissioner. If anybody
suspends him, it’ll be (Roger) Goodell. Again, it’s conduct detrimental
to the team. If the commissioner comes down
on him, it’ll be for the domestic abuse.”

Sefko:
Guys like this, and it doesn’t matter what sport it is, you give them a
chance, you give them two chances and by the time the third chance comes
around, you have to start wondering if the pattern of behavior is just too
overwhelming to ignore. I don’t know if
he needs help. I don’t know if the Cowboys are going to do something
drastic like get him a tutor or mentor. At this point, they should
probably do something proactive to help get his life straightened out.”
